[QUOTE="scoobypanda, post: 434562, member: 13957"] There is no paycut if you are forced into the unload, you also can bump into the preload. The fact that you make $20 or so per hour is one reason any layoffs will likely be short-term. Yes, it is more profitable to pay overtime and run less loads, but not if everyone is filing for over 9.5, preload and unload shifts are paying driver wages, and stewards are filing every time a supervisor touches a package. These are protections built into our contract and it is up to all of us to guard them vigilantly in order to protect the newer guys and reduce their layoff as much as possible. Don't let them do our work and hammer us with overtime while your union brother is struggling to find grocery money. On the "glass is half full" side of things: we should expect a bump from DHL collapse and we are swearing in a new president in January, this may help improve consumer confidence and spur the economic turnaround we are all hoping for.
